regurgitant
Returning the wrong way
Regurgitant describes something that flows backward or returns in the wrong direction.
The term appears most often in medical contexts, where regurgitant blood flows back through a faulty heart valve: The echocardiogram revealed a regurgitant jet across the mitral valve.
As a noun, a regurgitant is the substance that flows backward or is brought up.
